De Oiler WEMCO
De Oiler WEMCO
A compact, highly
efficient liquid/liquid
and solid/liquid
separation system for
both oilfield and
industrial applications.
Wide range of
standard vessel sizes
and materials available
to suit each individual
application.
Patented packaging
concept to give maximum
capacity with minimum
space. Easy access for
maintenance.
Separation Process
BHPS VORTOIL hydrocyclones are the
ultimate development of the hydrocyclone principle, which is based on the
physics of enhanced gravity separation
and free vortex action in an enclosed
space. The hydrocyclone has a cylindrical
inlet followed by a tapered tube. Liquids
enter through tangential inlets. This
creates a high velocity swirling action
Designed to operate at
process pressure thereby
optimizing system design.
Pressure vessel containment
eliminates unwanted
atmospheric emissions.
The K Series
The more challenging oil/water separations
are made possible with the super-efficient
Baker Hughes Process Systems K Series
VORTOIL hydrocyclone. The K Series is
the first choice for oil removal at lower
pressures and temperatures.
Benefits include:
High efficiency at low pressure operation
Removes smaller oil droplets
(<5 microns)
Lower temperature operation
Compact pressure vessel design
Suitable for use with centrifugal pumps
The patented K Series hydrocyclone offers
a significant improvement in oil removal
efficiency over other hydrocyclone designs.
Comparative trials have shown the K Series
to be up to 50% more effective, while
maintaining a superior turndown at lower
operating pressures.
For lower temperature applications, such as
those found typically in offshore applications,
the Kl hydrocyclone is a lightweight, synthetic
design, which combines efficiency and durability
at a lower cost.
K Series hydrocyclones have also been
developed for small industrial applications.
The Kl hydrocyclone can be supplied as an
individual stand-alone unit, or as part of a total
system depending on individual requirements.
